About the job
Google's custom-designed equipment makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Manufacturing Operations team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver this state-of-the-art physical infrastructure. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you evaluate the product designs and create the processes, tools and procedures behind Google’s powerful search technology. When vendors build parts for our infrastructure, you’re right there alongside ensuring manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled. You collaborate with Commodity Managers and Design Engineers to determine Google’s infrastructure needs and product specifications. Your work ensures the various pieces of Google’s infrastructure fit together perfectly and keep our systems humming along smoothly for a seamless user experience.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you have experience successfully launching the processes to support mission critical new products at Contract Manufacturer (CM), Aftermarket Services (AMS) and Google’s Distribution Centers (DC). You will bring an understanding of the tools, processes and techniques used to build and scale high volume assembly and kitting operations. In this role, you will be a valued partner to the new product development team through your industry knowledge, experience identifying and qualifying advanced manufacturing techniques, and your accurate Design for Manufacturing (DfM) feedback.
